I went to work on the car for an extended lunch break. The result...no luck. Car still doesn't start. Now I'm thinking (actually I'm pretty sure) I am having spark issues. The coil gives an intermittant spark when cranking. In other words, it's a crap shoot as to whether or not the little blue spark shows itself. I am now certain it's not an air or vacuum leak. I took the plastic hose that goes between the AMM and TB with me to IPD and he thought it unlikely that the little hole inthe hose would lead to a no start problem. Anyway, what about this spark thing, what could be the cause of that? This started while I was driving in the rain if that make a difference, although it has since dried out a bit and still doesn't start.
